《letters to no one ➳ [poetry]》➳ quadraginta

The tempestuous currents infront of us upsets me. I wish there was a way for me to pick it up, pack it in a sturdy ruck sack and toss it somewhere far away, without a single worry of its return.
But I guess that's not possible.
I guess this is one of the many things we've to go through together, whether we like it or not.
There will always be paths we take and choices we make in life that will either break us or make us stronger. I hope that we know and choose the latter.
There is no one to blame.
They say it's always easier when there is someone or something to blame. But I can't blame you and you can't blame me; so I guess we end up blaming life and the little cracks in between.
I don't want you to feel dejected, and despondent. I guess I don't want to suffocate, and trample you with my stagnant and protective life. I'm sorry I couldn't do anything to make you feel better, though I really wish I could.
I guess love just isn't enough to turn someone's sunken cheeks up. Love isn't enough to hold two people together inspite of their differences.
I guess sometimes there's really nothing much you or anyone can say and do.
I guess time is an enemy that we need to learn to use wisely and love. Time is an opportunity to believe, nurture and grow. Time can be a poison as much as it can be a medicine.
I guess hope is not for the deluded and the blinded; hope is for the seekers and believers. I guess there will always be a glimpse of hope in this already wrecked life.
Because without hope, we will all lose; we will all die a little inside.

Crimson Gloom
Crimson Gloom. The time when the moon turns crimson, illuminating the landscape with its crimson glow. The time when the ‘doors’ to the Crimson Abyss open. One shall gaze into the abyss and gain its secrets and powers. Concurrently, the abyss also gazes into oneself, gaining one’s sanity and humanity. Dimensional rifts appeared spontaneously on Earth, bringing otherworldly demons along with the Crimson Gloom. Bloody battles were fought, noble sacrifices were made. Humans eventually sealed the rifts and successfully defended their homeworld. Alas, the seals were not perfect. The Crimson Abyss continued to exist, slowly influencing Earth and its inhabitants. Half a century of relatively uneventful years passed… humanity slowly descended into corruption, and the majority of them knew nothing of the effects of the Crimson Abyss. Is there only the dreadful gloom left to the world? Can one find brightness in the increasingly gloomy world? The youth who had gazed into the Crimson Abyss had no answer, nor did he care. He only wanted the Crimson Gloom to end, to forever seal the Crimson Abyss. A mistake and a twist of fate led the youth into a seemingly totally different direction. Will he forget his lifelong goal? Will he instead step back onto his initial path that he fervently pursued? Disclaimer: I do not own the image on the cover. Image edited on canva.com. This piece of work, after all, is only a first draft and by no means an end product by an amateur (beginner) writer. Mistakes are bound to happen. With that said, I will strive to improve as I write. Feel free to point out errors and inconsistencies as you read. I thank you for your time. Finally, I pledge to not rewrite this novel until the first draft is completed.
